Adapted from the border of a carpet designed by Morris between 1881 and 1885 the Morris & Co. design studio has reworked the border as a modern fresh stripe with a classic Arts & Crafts touch. Redcar carpet is one of the largest known surviving examples of a Morris carpet with the Hammersmith mark. Inspired by traditional Chinese examples the scheme was originally woven with pastel colours on a camel-coloured ground.

A simple two-toned design Yew & Aril is a seamless choice as a coordinate fabric. An excellent colour carrier Alan Francis Vigers's small-scale design depicts the quiet beauty of the branches of a Yew tree and its charming berries known as arils.

Always recognising that true beauty has its thorns J.H. Dearle designed Sweet Briar in 1912. Depicting the small rose heads flowering pleasantly amongst the barbed stems this is the tender yet honest view of nature that characterised the Morris & Co. output under Dearle and Morris.

A cheeky bird pecks at delicious strawberries on this iconic Morris & Co. fabric. Faithfully reproduced on 100% cotton subtle textures retain the look of the original hand-printed design.

Artichoke Embroidery' is an exquisite embroidered silk. Inspired by Morris' own design Artichoke' from 1877, it has repeating patterns of large traditional motifs, illustrating his preoccupation and love of near Eastern and Italian woven silks and velvets. Morris studied a number of these at the South Kensington Museum, now the Victoria & Albert Museum. Retaining the authenticity and beauty of the original, it is now available in four stunning colourways and is recommended for curtains.

Godwin of 1872.  Like Morris Godwin was dedicated to beautifying the home and Oscar Wilde referred to him as One of the most artistic spirits of this century in England.

Featuring gradient stitching for a high degree of realism, this remarkable fabric is a contemporary reinvention of William Morris's 1876 Bluebell.

Perhaps one of the most endearing qualities of William Morris was his love for ordinary flowers, native to the UK.

Morris's design is a richly packed symmetrical arrangement and continues his tradition of naming the design after the secondary flower. Framed by bold acanthus leaves and entwined by larger foliage, the humble bluebell weaves this design together like it does the forest floor in spring.

Available in three colourways: Leafy Arbour, Indigo/Rose and Leaf Green/Sweet Briar

Morris & Co. are thrilled to re-introduce Borage, an 1883 design by William Morris. Originally conceived as a furnishing fabric, Borage's spirited floral pattern and multiple axes of symmetry bring a lively point of visual interest to any furniture item. Beloved by bees and other pollinators, Borage is a perfect example of William Morris drawing ideas about ornamenting interiors from the natural world.

Borage re-enters the Morris & Co. range due to the collaboration collection with Emery Walker's House, the historic home of noted typographer and close friend of William Morris. Walker, dutiful to the design ideas of his friend William Morris, has used Borage as a furnishing fabric in his drawing room to great effect.

The definition of a bower, a pleasant, shady place under trees or climbing plants in a garden or forest, aptly describes this upliftingly rich design. Registered as a William Morris pattern in 1877, Bower depicts a floral wonderland of foliage and flowers ripe with life. The Bough's Green/Rose colourway is the closest to the joyous original, whilst Indigo and Barbed Berry/Indigo offer moodier and cooler hues respectively with Herball/Weld being a happy mid-tone.

Hand-knotted finishes to the floral detailing couple with chunky stitching help to convey a crafted, tactile feel on a 100% linen base cloth. What makes Daisy so iconic are the sprays of floral miniatures inspired by William Morris's visits to the British Museum's illuminated manuscripts, creating a design which looks back on centuries of craftwork.

Today's Daisy Embroidery takes as its source the Daisy wallpaper featured in the Arts & Crafts home of noted typographer, book printer and friend of Morris, Sir Emery Walker.

Paired birds alternate between perched and in-flight in this serene 1878 tapestry design from William Morris. Surprising bursts of colour emerge upon closer inspection, pulling the eye towards the original hand-driven jacquard loom production quality. William Morris designed Bird in 1878 to adorn the walls of his own drawing room in Kelmscott House. His friend and neighbour, the noted typographer Sir Emery Walker, adorned his dining room with an identical Bird tapestry after receiving an inheritance from either Morris or Philip Webb, the famous Arts & Crafts architect.

Our modern Bird tapestry retains William Morris's high regard for craftsmanship, being woven by Morris & Co. craftspeople right here in the UK using a cotton-wool blend (80% wool).

Just like a rekindled love affair, Ben discovered this iconic print stowed away in our archive. Instantly mesmerised, he recoloured and updated Compton to include cheerful daffodil yellows and vibrant pops of indigo blue, poppy red and sunset orange.

Ben Pentreath has taken the distinctive daffodils that grace this design and pumped up the colour!

Scaled down slightly and produced on a cotton/linen cloth, the Dark Olive colourway is utterly magical with its bright, almost electric blue ground and eye-catching teal detail. Archive is a much softer choice, retaining its original colours, but with a slightly intensified vibrancy.

The delicately embroidered stripe design of this striking kilim lends to a room a diversity of pattern as well as added depth and a tactile finish. Dorothy's Kilim draws from the original found in the bedroom of Dorothy Walker, the well-travelled daughter of Sir Emery (noted typographer and close friend of William Morris's). This colourful kilim is decorated in the Persian style and features geometric motifs typical of kilims from the old Persian Empire — Turkey and Turkic states.

Morris & Co. are thrilled to introduce only their second kilim ever for the Emery Walker's House collection. Dorothy, like her father, travelled widely and rejoiced in the local craft traditions, as is evidenced by this iconic kilim.

A new addition to the modern Morris & Co. fabric portfolio, Emery's Willow characteristically features playful bubble-like shapes as a backdrop. The willow tree, with its delicately entwining branches and leaves that rustle evocatively in the slightest breeze, is a motif William Morris consistently returned to throughout his creative life.

Emery's Willow is based on a wallpaper design first produced in 1874 which was hung in the dining room of esteemed typographer, book printer and friend of William Morris, Sir Emery Walker.

Flowers By May is a story about the creativity friendship can inspire, spanning even generations.
